Step-by-Step Guide

1. Prepare Your ATV

Ensure your ATV is on a level surface and the engine is cool. This will prevent burns and ensure accurate oil drainage.

2. Remove the Skid Plate

Use a socket wrench to remove the bolts securing the skid plate. Set the skid plate aside to access the oil drain plug.

3. Drain the Old Oil

Place the drain pan under the oil drain plug. Use the socket wrench to remove the plug and allow the oil to completely drain into the pan. Once drained, replace and tighten the drain plug.

4. Replace the Oil Filter

Use the oil filter wrench to remove the old oil filter. Before installing the new filter, apply a small amount of new oil to the rubber gasket on the filter. Install the new filter by hand, ensuring it is snug but not overtightened.

5. Add New Oil

Remove the oil fill cap and insert a funnel. Pour approximately 3.5 quarts of 5W-40 synthetic oil into the engine. Replace the oil fill cap.

6. Check Oil Level

Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. Turn off the engine and wait a few minutes for the oil to settle. Use the dipstick to check the oil level and add more oil if necessary to reach the full mark.

7. Reattach the Skid Plate

Secure the skid plate back in place using the bolts removed earlier.
